How to Increase the Size of Dashboard Widgets
The Mac OS X Dashboard is a platform for easy access to simple applications like calculators, conversion tools, sticky notes and other widgets. You can easily activate and hide the Dashboard layer with a keystroke or by dragging your cursor to one corner of the screen. Within the layer, you can edit settings for each widget, such as geographical locations for weather apps. Additionally, certain widgets have settings for resizing, allowing you to drag the widget and adjust its visibility on the Dashboard.
